Ok, it's in my profile but... this is funny. I'm from Bilbao, and I moved to Madrid just 7 years ago.

I'm from Lancaster, OH and before that, Columbus, OH (famous for being the home of MadridMan) I have also lived in Istanbul and my wife lived for some time in Okinawa and the Phillipines.

I really enjoy all of the "perspective" you get from this board.

I live just outside of Washington D.C. in Maryland. I lived in spain up until 1989 then moved to states. I lived in Madrid and Zaragoza. I have family all over spain and france. So glad I found this sight, very useful info.

I'm originally from Greenwich, CT, but I've been living in Madrid for many years now.

Hey BigMac,

From one OSU grad to another, GO BUCKS !

By the way, how do you like St. Augustine?

Satellite Beach, Florida

I am originally from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin and have lived in Savannah, Georgia; Kuwait; Qatar and Tampa, Florida for a few months to a few years each.

Dear Fellow Floridians Big Mac and ccplanner, welcome! Perhaps now we can have a MadridMan get together in our neck of the woods too! I'm in Palatka right now, but St. Augustine is where I hang out, for obvious reasons, it's the closest city to Spain this side of the Atlantic!

St. Augustine has a very nice Spanish restaurant run by a Spaniard, Cafe Spain across from the School of the Deaf and Blind. His sopas de mariscos are to die for. It also boasts the Columbia Restaurant, where you can have a decent paella and Sangria, and you can take your time too!

Proud FSU Seminole, although I admire the Gators, too!

I was born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley here in Virginia. I studied in Spain in 1981 and moved there in 1982. I returned to Virginia in 1994 and am back in my hometown. I miss my friends in Spain a lot but I've only been back twice to see them. Hopefully, I can visit this summer or the next.
